This Fatima Mansions cover of The Scarecrow off the Watersons Bright Phoebus is probably the reason there's a good smattering of folk in my record collection these days.



Hope the link works, YouTube is playing up on this old iPod touch I'm using.

Never have got around to getting Bright Phoebus. They keep promising to reissue it, though.

The original, written as a riposte to the London punk scene and the Sex Pistols song New York in particular:
Johnny Thunders ... London Boys
(1978)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HtCAqXH3UQ&feature=kp

The cover version, adapted into a riposte to the Seattle grunge scene:
Pussy Galore ... Seattle
(1989)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOaUBY_PRY8

An undisputed classic.

Dusty Springfield - Son Of A Preacher Man (1968)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjydOI4MEIw


But one that I think has possibly an even better cover which is a rare thing. I'm sure plenty will disagree. Love the bassline.

The Gaylettes - Son Of A Preacher Man (1968)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVqPRob_GAM

Milchy's post in the classics thread reminded me of this.

The original, although it could be argued that this is such a blatant rip off of Bo Diddley's She's Fine She's Mine, that this version is also a cover version with a new title:

Willie Cobb ... You Don't Love Me
(1961)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a05_zcIMo9w

One of many cover versions:

Kim & Grim ... You Don't Love Me
(1965)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCqWg4539D4

I was going to pick another great, maybe even better, girl group version of this song by The Starlets, but I've already posted that in the classics thread. Other recommended versions include those by Dawn Penn, Ike & Tina Turner, Gary Walker, Tommy Raye and Junior Wells.

For anyone not familiar with the Bo Diddley pre-original original:
